Product Description
The term 'network' is used in a variety of different ways in church circles. This issue examines the understanding of network in an Anglican church planting context.
A network church is one that serves a community of people defined by belonging through work or social connections, rather than residing in the local parish. A rare phenomena in the Anglican set-up, these network churches seek to connect with people who 'slip through the net' of the normal parish machinery. More than just eclectic, they are intentionally non-boundary for the purposes of mission.
Two stories of network churches are told; The Carpenter's Arms in Deal and Harvest New Anglican Church in Margate. Both examples exist in the Diocese of Canterbury, hence the title! This issue highlights the importance of key permission-givers in the diocesan structures to understand and advocate for this new and unusual way of being Anglican.
